Santa Severa: day trip near Rome...

May is when the hay is harvested in Lazio. It's actually my favorite time of the year here. But now it's already June and so it was time for a nature walk to Santa Severa before the arrival of the summer heat. Hope everybody likes these few pics which illustrate the lovely nature so close to the Holy City...and it's wonderful to still see cropland up to the coast (they have little sense of real estate development here per fortuna!). The middle photo is of a convent and the old Odescalchi castle is now being renovated.
